Chapter 254 Where's the promised 2,000 yuan shopping card?
Perhaps because the venue was too quiet, Qiao Xing noticed something after finishing her team battle. She looked up and saw President Liao walking towards her.
The space was a bit crowded, and Mr. Liao walked quickly, so much so that he appeared to be staggering.
Qiao Xing looked on with suspicion. What was President Liao up to?
She glanced at her phone again and suddenly realized, "He wouldn't have come here to stop me from using my phone, would he?"
Startled by this idea, Qiao Xing quickly put away her phone, along with Qin Ce's phone, and stuffed it into her pocket as well.
Qin Ce noticed that his phone was missing. He paused for a moment, then turned to look at Qiao Xing.
Qiao Xing was already sitting up straight, looking just like a primary school student who had been caught playing on his phone by the teacher and was trying to cover it up.
Qin Ce couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth in a smile.
Just as Mr. Liao was about to reach us, his cell phone rang in his pocket.
Mr. Liao paused, took out his phone, glanced at it, and his expression changed again.
He had no choice but to answer the call.
So, Mr. Liao glanced at Qin Ce, and finally had no choice but to answer the phone, "Hey, Mr. Han, what's up?"
He didn't know what they said to him, but General Manager Liao nodded and smiled obsequiously, "Yes, yes, I understand."
"Okay, okay."
After finishing his sentence, Mr. Liao hung up the phone and looked around before realizing that everyone in the hall was staring at him.
Mr. Liao coughed, then turned his gaze to the woman in front of him, and asked with a forced smile, "Is your phone fun?"
The woman who was called out was the same woman who had just been confronting Qiao Xing. She looked completely bewildered, glanced at her phone, and saw that the screen was still lit up; she had just been chatting with someone.
"Mr. Liao, I wasn't using my phone."
General Manager Liao snorted, "Is an annual meeting really that boring? Why don't you go home and play on your phone instead?"
"President Liao, I..." The woman wanted to argue, saying that so many people were using their phones, so why was she being singled out?
General Manager Liao interrupted her directly, "What do you mean 'you'? Which department are you from? What's your name? With your attitude, you're probably just slacking off at work, aren't you?"
This was a huge accusation, and the woman was shocked. She quickly explained, "Mr. Liao, I just replied to a message, I really didn't do anything!"
"Forget it, which department are you from? Manager, you should reorganize things properly later."
After saying that, General Manager Liao turned and left.
The woman sat in her seat, her face ashen. She felt like she had the worst luck imaginable. So many people were on their phones, how did Mr. Liao manage to catch her?
The person next to her is still playing video games!
She even suspected that she was being targeted.
Qiao Xing watched as President Liao walked away and let out a long sigh of relief, "That was close."
Qin Ce's expression was unreadable. He didn't say anything, but simply reminded her, "We're going to lose the game."
Qiao Xing wouldn't dare play games now. She said irritably, "If I lose, I lose. If I get caught, I'll lose my job."
That woman was spoken to like that by General Manager Liao, and the department manager was also implicated. Her future days are definitely not going to be easy.
However, it seems their planning department doesn't have a manager yet; it all depends on what Bai Yi thinks.
Meanwhile, General Manager Liao had returned to the stage and continued reading his script. It was as if the incident had been a trivial little episode, and no one paid any attention to what General Manager Qin was referring to.
The monotonous script made Qiao Xing doze off; she even suspected that President Liao had used a script from last year.
Qiao Xing yawned. After General Manager Liao finished speaking, several department managers went up to speak as well.
More than an hour passed in a flash.
The company employees didn't organize many programs: a skit, two songs, and a street dance performance.
However, after the first skit, there was an award ceremony for outstanding employees.
After reciting a long speech from the list in his hand, Supervisor He said, "Now, please come up to the stage to receive your award."
"Deng Hao from the Technical Department, Wang Sui from the Technical Department, Xiao Yan from the Sales Department, Marketing Department... Qiao Xing from the Planning Department."
Qiao Xing's drooping eyelids widened instantly. She turned her head to look at Qin Ce, "Were you calling me?"
Qin Ce nodded slightly: "They're calling you. Go up quickly."
Urged on by him, Qiao Xing went up on stage with a bewildered look on his face.
She thought about it the whole way, unable to understand why she had her own name. She had changed two departments in a row and would occasionally take leave, especially this month, she had taken almost twenty days off.
This award is definitely not for her.
Despite her doubts, she was already standing on the stage, surrounded by long-term employees with more than five years of experience, and at least three years of experience, while she was a newcomer with less than two years of experience.
She stood there feeling very awkward.
Qiao Xing looked up at the center and saw Qin Ce sitting there in a suit and tie. Even though they were so far apart, Qiao Xing could still feel him looking at her.
He is tall and has good proportions; when he sits there, he immediately catches people's attention.
His calm and composed demeanor gave Qiao Xing some confidence.
"Thank you to these ten colleagues for their outstanding contributions to the company this year. Please welcome our General Manager Liao to present the certificates of honor to these outstanding employees."
General Manager Liao stood to the side, took the certificate from Zhang Xue, and handed it out to everyone one by one.
When he walked up to Qiao Xing, he couldn't help but glance at her a few more times, making Qiao Xing's scalp tingle.
However, with a kind smile on his face, General Manager Liao said, "Keep up the good work."
Qiao Xing accepted the certificate with both hands and nodded to President Liao, "I will, thank you, President Liao."
Holding the worthless certificate in her hands, Qiao Xing felt incredibly guilty for taking leave this month; she had let the company down.
After the certificates were awarded, Manager He took the microphone and said, "Congratulations again to our outstanding employees. Thank you for your contributions to the company this year. The company has also prepared awards for several outstanding employees."
Without even thinking, it's another two thousand yuan shopping card.
Qiao Xing was already thinking about what New Year's goods to buy at the mall with Caminger.
The next second, Manager He's words cheered Qiao Xing up again: "A bonus of 100,000 yuan for each person."
These words caused an uproar at the scene.
"Holy crap, the company's struck it rich?"
"When did you become so generous?! What happened to the promised 2,000 yuan shopping card?"
"Damn, I've been with this company for so many years and I've never seen a company give out a bonus of more than 10,000 yuan."
"Could it be because S&C acquired a stake this year that the company has become more prestigious?"
"I should have known better than to ask for leave!"
The people below were red with envy, and the people on the stage were also red with excitement.
For people with high salaries, 100,000 yuan is not a particularly large amount, but for people with low salaries, 100,000 yuan is equivalent to a year's salary.
Many people probably don't even earn 100,000 a year.
For example, Qiao Xing.
Last year, even with her year-end bonus and performance-based pay, she only earned around 110,000 yuan.
When Qiao Xing received the heavy stack of cash, both his hands were trembling.
She felt unworthy of it.
